The 18 year-old fly-half was at Tarporley for five years before moving to Bromsgrove School, in Worcester. He was part of the Bromsgrove team who won the NatWest Schools Cup in March.

Luke recently played in the Greene King IPA International Rugby Sevens before starting a trial period with Harlequins at the beginning of August.

Now he has earned a place at the Harlequins academy.

The fly-half will be dual registered with Dorking Rugby Club for this season.

Harlequins academy manager Tony Diprose said: “We are really pleased to welcome Luke into the Harlequins Academy set up this season. Luke has impressed us both with his attitude and his skill set during his trial period in pre-season.”

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows.

The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director Alan Ball feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving

people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service the Tarporley, Tattenhall, Kelsall, Tarvin &

Bunbury areas and Alan is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense.

I get a huge amount of business from friends

and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Alan a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

‘THE AGE OF LONELINESS’ THE BBC recently showed a heart rending documentary called ‘The Age of Loneliness’. It highlighted how loneliness affects so many of us in so many different ways and at so many different stages of our lives. ‘It’s becoming a major public health issue’ they said ‘A silent epidemic that we don’t want to talk about’.

The film maker Sue Bourne believes loneliness has to be talked about, so she went out to find people brave enough to go on camera and talk about their loneliness.

I could not believe their age range, from 19 to 100 years old. Having worked in the elderly care industry for nearly 12 years now, I have always been so aware of how lonely old age can be, but was quite shocked to see so many younger people suffer this way. What hope is there for the future I ask myself? However, I could not help feel that to be all alone when you are old and frail must be the worst of all.

YOUR LONELY DAYS ARE GONE!

This powerful piece of television cannot fail to have an impact and reminds us of how lucky we are to have friends and family around us. Sadly this is not always the case.

So,if you know anyone in this situation who would benefit from a visit of a friendly face, our daily carers and companions are waiting to help.

The program ended with this poignant phrase:“It could be you, it could be me.

There are millions of lonely people out there.”

If you would like to make a difference, join our team of well respected Live in and Daily Carers and Companions.

Protect your new bundle of fur!

It’s an exciting time of year with so many puppies and kittens coming through our doors!

Here are Birch Heath Veterinary Clinic’s top tips on what to do now you have your new furball!

• Microchipping will be made law by April 2016 (dogs only) and will ensure the safe return of your beloved pet.

• Make sure you bring in your new puppy/kitten for plenty of cuddles with our nurses – we love it!

• Get advice from our team on which insurance to have and the different levels of cover.

• Ensure your puppy is up to date with vaccinations – some breeders will give the first vaccination before you collect them, and it is incredibly important they receive their second vaccination. Kennel Cough (an air borne disease also found outside of kennels) vaccination is also advisable for your dog!

• Receive regular weight checks and flea and worm treatment with our nurses • Ask us about the correct diet for your growing puppy or kitten.

• All of the above is covered by our Healthy Pet Club – plus so much more!

Call Birch Heath Veterinary Clinic on 01829 733777 for more information, or find us on our website or facebook!

TARPORLEY PARISH COUNCIL NEWSLETTER Outdoor Sports & Recreation Committee The Brook Road sports and recreation facilities is being managed by the Outdoor sports and Recreation Committee of 10 members, with 2 vacant positions.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Outdoor Sports and Recreation Committee, please get in touch with Ann Wright, Parish Council Clerk, (clerk@tarporley,org.uk) The committee has been working extremely hard in developing plans for the Brook Road site. A final consultation on the proposed sports and recreation facilities, will be held early in 2016 with more details to follow.

Parking in the village Parking is an on-going issue in Tarporley, even after last year’s remarking of Tarporley’s car parks, to provide an additional 30 spaces.

A January meeting has been arranged with CW&C highways officers to discuss what options are available. Once these options have been determined, there will be a need for wide public consultation to gain public support before any parking regulations are put in place. Updates will be included in future editions of Tarporley Talk.

Council Tax Precept 2016-2017 The Parish Council is discussing and setting its precept for 2016-2017 which provides around £60,000 each year to support the services it is responsible for and, together with some modest grants, help with small-scale but important village improvements. This amounts to a charge of under £45 per year per Band D property, less than £1 per week. Whilst we foresee that this level of charge can be broadly maintained in the near term, once additional facilities like the Brook Road Sports and Recreation Field is completed and operational, then we do foresee that there will be increased running costs that have to be funded in the order of £15,000 pa. This would lead to modest increases in the precept for the parish, mitigated though by there being more new homes that would also be contributing by then.

However, of much greater concern regarding Parish Council finances is the proposed withdrawal

by CWaC of the New Homes Bonus as detailed below. We estimate this would result in a loss of some £470,000 for our village, over the next few years. These are funds that are essential to help the proper completion of major projects like the Brook Road Sports and Recreation Field, besides other village improvements that become increasing important as we grow in size in consequence of the planning decisions already made.

New Homes Bonus CWAC Council propose to end the New Homes Bonus payment to Town and Parish Councils, including Tarporley, from 2016. CWAC propose to retain this funding to spend in line with their own priorities. The final decision will be made when the 2016-17 Budget is agreed by the Council in February 2016.

The New Homes Bonus goes to the places that have had to accommodate the large number of new houses and it is used by those communities to improve or build new facilities that improve the quality of life of local residents.

In Tarporley’s case, given the large number of houses built recently and to be built in the near future, the New Homes Bonus amounts to hundreds of thousands of pounds over the next few years.

To lose this funding would severely reduce Tarporley’s ability to implement and maintain infrastructure improvements to accommodate the impact of the increased population. This includes, parking improvements, children’s play facilities, sports and recreation facility development, etc.

There is a petition on the CWAC website at aimed at preventing CWAC from stopping the New Homes Bonus payment:- http://cmttpublic.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/mgepetitionlistdisplay.aspx?bcr=1

Utkinton & Cotebrook Parish Council

BY the time you read this we will almost be in February and, hopefully we can look forward to Spring.

We continue to monitor planning and issues that affect us all – the latest being the ‘New Homes Bonus’ and the letter from INEOS about licences to explore under the Cheshire plain. On the former if you haven’t done so it might be worth completing the questionnaire that can be found at; http://cmttpublic.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/ mgEPetitionListDisplay.aspx From a local perspective, the New Year brings with it new challenges: Business Card.pdf • Utkinton Village Hall Committee is seeking local residents to take part by joining the committee to help run this vital local asset. Please email the treasurer if you are interested please email gwb.stewart@btinternet.com • The ‘research’ into playground facilities in Utkinton continues and we thank those who have already responded, please email our clerk if you would like to add to the debate (utkintonclerk@ sky.com) • The continued state of local roads gives us room to want better and if you have a particular issue with potholes, verges of any other area please go to the CWAC website and look for the ‘Report a Highway fault’ link (http://www. cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/default.aspx ) • Cotebrook Church is seeking volunteers to help maintain its grounds, please go to our website for contact details • The four parishes that make up Tarporley Ward will be meeting informally in mid-February and if you have anything that you would like these councillors to discuss please get in touch with the relevant clerk.

DKC Look Contracts and use all the space in your home ALL ASPECTS

We would all like more space in our homes and with houses in the UK getting smaller, space is at a premium. But what if there was an affordable way to create more space in our homes? A simple solution for all those people fed up of living among clutter and one that doesn’t require planning permission or any major structural building work.

For most, the loft is a dark and dingy place visited seasonally; once to dig out the Christmas decorations and then again to bring down the holiday suitcases. precarious scramble across FULLYA INSURED dusty beams, in hand; grabbing WITH OVERtorch 30 YEARS what’sEXPERIENCE needed then clambering back past boxes filled with long-forgotten belongings.

And that’s where More Than Loft Ladders (MTLL) comes in. Founded in Bolton over five years ago, MTLL specialises in generating space by making the loft easily accessible. And that’s all it does. It’s not a generic building company, and it’s not jack-of-all-trades. MTLL only installs loft hatches, ladders, boarding, lighting and insulation. It’s what the company does all day, every day, using qualified local installers who are reliable, tidy and efficient.

The latest MTLL franchisee to open covers Crewe and Chester and is run by skilled tradesman, Adam Shepherd...“Our average job is about

The price customers are quoted is the price they will pay, with no additional call out or credit card charges.

“More Than Loft Ladders is already a trusted name in the north west with over 2,500 successful installations, and I really wanted to bring it here to Cheshire...It’s such a great and cost effective way for people to gain the extra space they need,” added Adam.

Young medical boss joins the big time The owner of a Tarporley-based medical company has been named among the 100 most influential British entrepreneurs.

Chris Percival, who runs Jigsaw Medical, said he is delighted to enter the Richtopia 100 Most Influential British Entrepreneurs list.

Chris’s new entry at number 32 in the list caps what has been a remarkable year for Chris personally and for his independent medical company Jigsaw Medical.

In only the last six months of 2015, Jigsaw Medical added over 30 fully-kitted ambulances to the already expansive fleet as well as eight response vehicles that help supplement the ambulances clinically. In order to house the new vehicles, further multiple operational offices were established across the UK to act as bases for crew members to work from in a whole host of different areas.

Chris said: “People like Richard Branson, Lord Sugar and Duncan Bannatyne are entrepreneurial heroes of mine and to be in a list with them is truly an honour.”

“I can’t take all the credit myself though. As an owner of a company I am only as good as the people around me and therefore I have to thank all members of our team.”

“2015 was an incredible year and 2016 is set to be even bigger and better, with so many new opportunities planned!”

Jigsaw Medical was founded in 2012 by Chris Percival and has quickly become one of the UK leaders in medical provision, offering a range of services for the commercial, media events sector and the NHS.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Pressure points

By Angela Bartlett, owner Sensoria Beauty, Grooming & Wellbeing

Q. I notice that you often use pressure points in your treatments at Sensoria.

Why is that?

A. We often use pressure points in our treatments to facilitate increased blood flow to an area and to release energy blockages. Incorporated into skin treatments and facials they can help to improve muscle tone and facial contours. They also assist in alleviating sinus congestion, headaches and stress.

Pressure points are popular in our massage treatments for pain relief and in releasing muscular tension.

In addition, there is a point we use in our Bioslimming treatments to help refresh the liver and flush out toxins.

Q. What is your top make up tip for a Valentine’s date?

A. My top tip is to make the most of your eyelashes. Start by adding lift and curl to your lashes either with an eyelash curler or an eyelash perm.

Remember to plan ahead with an eyelash perm as this requires a patch test to ensure suitability. Apply an eyelash primer as this will help to create a larger surface area onto which your mascara can adhere, giving you thicker, fuller luscious lashes.

Many primers are white which gives you an instant guide on whether or not your eyelashes have been fully coated with mascara. Applying a liquid eyeliner to the top lid will give the illusion of longer lashes and then finish with two coats of mascara. We love Blinc mascara as it is completely waterproof but soaks off easily with warm water.

Book in to see us for a free Blinc application with any other treatment if you are not convinced!

TARPORLEY HIGH SCHOOL & SIXTH FORM COLLEGE Exhibition showcases artists’ work ART created by pupils Ellie Corlett-Moss, Alice Farnworth and Hannah Sinclair has been exhibited at the Contemporary Arts Space Chester (CASC) as the Young Artists in Tuscany exhibition opens.

Hosted in the CASC gallery, based in Chester University’s Kingsway Buildings, this week-long exhibition showcased pupils’ drawing, painting, 3D casting, print making and 3D sculpture work, all of which was inspired by an annual residential arts project entitled Young Artists in Tuscany.

The Young Artists in Tuscany project is a valued tradition and spans many years with the involvement of a significant number of teachers and students.

Attending the opening night, Mr Bowland said: “The exhibition really captures the enthusiasm and passion of our three talented girls, reveals their working process and contains highly accomplished works of art; they are truly a credit to the Art department.”

MP’s concern for future of Tarporley allotments ON a very cold, windy and showery afternoon Tarporley’s allotments and Bowls Club welcomed local MP Antoinette Sandbach on a fact-finding visit.

Ms Sandbach has asked the Royal British Legion (RBL) to account for their actions in relation to the legality of the sale and the procedures they followed (or failed to follow). The Charity Commission and the RBL’s considered responses are still eagerly awaited and allotmenteers and bowlers are hopeful that with Ms Sandbach’s valuable assistance and influence, the sale might be reversed. Were that to happen, it would give local interest groups the time and opportunity to source funding via, for example, Lottery Heritage Funds and to mount their own bid for the land.

Thus the Open Green space would be secured for the benefit of the village.

Support for the principle of retaining one of Tarporley’s last remaining Open Green spaces is still growing as numbers signing the petition against developments now stands at 1,382. Antoinette Sandbach said: “I am extremely concerned about the way in which the Royal British Legion has handled this sale, particularly since the allotments and bowling green have been present on this site prior to the transfer to the Legion for many years. Growing your own food provides an invaluable link to nature and is very healthy and rewarding for the allotment holders. I have raised my concerns with the Charities Commission about the way in which the sale has been handled.”

Ken Warburton, spokesman for the welcoming committee and president of the allotments association added: “Antoinette has been really supportive. Her visit has given us a huge boost and made us even more determined to continue with our opposition to these proposals for unnecessary developments.”

10 Ways To Mak Your Healthiest Here are ten ways you can make 2016 your healthiest year yet: 1- Don’t wait for the perfect time to start The time will never be just right. There will always be something going on in your life that makes it seem like the wrong time to start focusing on your health. Start taking action now, no matter how small.

You will thank yourself later.

2 - Focus on sleep Sleep forms the foundation for which all other health habits are built upon. If you’re sleep deprived you won’t have the energy or willpower to make improvements in the rest of your lifestyle. Set a bedtime and stick to it – aim for a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night.

3 - Cut down on sugar Make a conscious effort to remove sugar from your diet. Check food labels for sugar and remember that it’s found in sauces, drinks, as well as snacks and processed foods. If you can make one change to your nutrition this year, cut down your sugar intake.

4 - Have a clean slate policy with yourself Nobody is ever 100% perfect. If you go off the rails by having a day or two of over-indulgence, accept it, wipe the slate clean and get back to your healthy habits.

Tarporley’s Guaranteed Results Personal Training Studio We will help you lose weight, feel fitter and tone up, so that 2016 really is your healthiest year yet.

Book your free, no-obligation consultation with now by calling us on 01829 458010, or visiting our website.

ke 2016 t Year Yet

By Daniel Jones BSc, Instinct Wellness 5 - Schedule your workouts into your calendar Treat your exercise time like an important meeting.

Put it down in your calendar. If you don’t schedule time for exercise and plan around it, it’s too easy to let it drop down your priority list.

8 - Eat more vegetables Simply increasing your daily intake of vegetables will displace the unhealthier processed foods in your diet. Increasing the amount of vegetables you eat will provide you with the nutrients you need to thrive, and the extra fibre will help you feel fuller for longer.

6 - Practice mindfulness - stay in the present Our minds are always focusing on the past or the future, but rarely on the present moment. Focusing on the present can help you feel less stressed, happier and more in control. Whenever you notice yourself feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take 10 deep breaths, paying close attention to each breath.

9 - Get an accountability partner or coach Staying accountable is vital for success. It’s too easy to have good intentions, only to not follow through when the only person you have to answer to is yourself. Get someone on your side to put a positive pressure on you to follow through.

7 - Do something everyday that takes you closer to your goals Go for a brisk 20-minute walk, do a workout, meditate for 10 minutes. Whatever it is, do something. When you commit to doing something every day you start to build momentum. Momentum builds confidence.

10 - Commit to being persistent Make the commitment to yourself that you are going to stay persistent until you succeed. Nothing great has ever been achieved without massive amounts of persistence. Progress may be slow at times, you may face difficulties, but stay persistent and ultimately you will be successful.

It’s the small decisions we make every day, which compounded over time determine the success we achieve. Be patient, stay persistent and make 2016 your healthiest year yet!

KIN DEEP was the first Beauty Salon to open in the beautiful village of Tarporley and this year will be celebrating 25 years in business.

Opened in February 1991 by sisters Stepanie and Karen along with their mother June, Skin Deep is a salon renowned for its client care and expertise.

Both sisters trained at the Bretlands’ Beauty Centre in Tunbridge Wells and have CIDESCO and CIBTAC qualifications. Karen was an international examiner for CIDESCO and CIBTAC and once appeared on Blue Peter. Stepanie was also an international examiner for CIBTAC. Due to the continued success of Skin Deep and commitment to her clients, Stepanie gave up examining a few years ago to focus on the salon.

past 25 years and we would like to thank all of our clients for their continued support during this Now and then Above: Skin Deep therapists today Left: The salon in 1991

Inheritance Tax could still threaten your f You may remember the Conservatives were planning to increase the Inheritance Tax (IHT) threshold to £1m if they won the General Election.

S

ubsequently, the new Coalition Government shelved it. But if you are thinking that you are unlikely to be affected by IHT, think again. More and more people are affected by IHT every year. It used to be a tax that was the preserve of the very wealthy, but escalating property values in the last ten years have put paid to that.

For single people, Inheritance Tax applies at the top rate of 40% to assets worth over £325,000. This threshold is known as the nil band rate. For married couples and civil partnerships the threshold is £650,000. But the higher £650,000 limit only applies when assets are passed between spouses and civil partners and this figure reduces if any money is passed onto any of your benefactors during your lifetime. There are also other financial implications to consider, particularly if you are a widow, widower or divorcee.

And with the threshold remaining unchanged by the coalition government

until at least 2015 and subject to further legislation the freeze will be extended up to and including the 2017/2018 tax year, more people could get sucked in as the minimum IHT threshold usually increases at a rate equivalent to at least inflation.

Pearson Financial Management, a local Senior Partner Practice of St. James’s Place Wealth Management, is concerned that most people do not understand the implications of IHT. “It’s clear that people are confused by IHT policy and many mistakenly believe they are unlikely to be affected by it,” he said. And he is also concerned about a potentially more serious knock-on effect.

“A Will* is vital in helping mitigate IHT,” said Philip. “Without a proper Will, people run the risk of their estate being severely reduced through IHT and also leaving themselves exposed to the ravages of long term care

costs later in life. It’s now more important than ever to seek professional advice and establish how you can protect your hard earned assets.”

If you are uncertain about how you stand regarding IHT and would like to know more about how to prevent much of your money falling into the hands of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs, or your Local Authority through Long Term Care fees, book your consultation today.

For further information or to request your complimentary guide to Inheritance Tax please contact Pearson Financial Management of St. James’s Place Wealth Management. Pearson Financial Management can be contacted by phone on 01829 732450 or by email on ann.pearson@sjpp.co.uk.

He listens carefully, understands my requirements and has provided an excellent balance of investments. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”

Mrs J. Hallett

“I spoke to a couple of financial advisors when I retired and they focussed on the money.When I met Phil it was a nice surprise as he focussed on me. His philosophy was different in that he was genuinely interested in improving my quality of life. Phil explained everything to me in a simple easy to understand language. I took the decision to invest with him and have never regretted it. He is always easy to contact and happy to help.”

Event commemorates Oulton Hall fire OULTON Hall, within the Parish of Little Budworth, was the former magnificent seat of the Egerton family.

The park land was laid out two centuries ago by William Eames and the mansion was erected from the designs of Vanburgh.

Only parts of the fabric of the hall survived the great fire of 14th February 1926 when six people lost their lives. In November, 1940 two bombs dropped by German aircraft completed the destruction of the mansion. The main wrought iron gate with two lodges (opposite the end of the Coach Road, Little Budworth) still remains in good condition today. Oulton Park is now most famous as a motor racing circuit with the track passing in front of the site of where Oulton Hall stood.

British Pathe have two short videos which show the devastating results of the fire as three firemen are seen holding a hose, as they are aiming it through the window of the burnt out mansion. A pan shot shows debris falling out of the main entrance and broken stain glass windows as sunlight appears through the broken roof. These are well worth watching to history unfold that happened on our doorstep.

They can easily be found on the British Pathe website by searching ‘Oulton Hall Fire’.

Tarporley RBL:

What’s going on? Part IV The recent article by Ernest Boynes in January’s Tarporley Talk was misleading, writes Dave Press.

According to the RBL’s north-west property manager, there were approximately 70 expressions of interest in the sale of the Royal British Legion (RBL) site, leading to 12 bids to buy the closed RBL clubhouse and adjacent car park, but only one bid to buy the entire site including the bowling green and allotments.

The selection of purchaser, therefore, had nothing to do with any respect for community views. The sale has been made with an expectation that the purchaser will seek planning permission for development on the allotments and bowling green, and the terms of the sale include extra payments to the RBL if the land is developed. This flies in the face of the community’s wishes as set out in the Neighbourhood Plan. Furthermore, the RBL was not compelled by their charitable aims to sell the land. It would be wholly within the scope of their Charter to dedicate it as a Centenary Field (an initiative for which they are a leading partner).

Whilst I don’t dispute the fact that the RBL is supported by lots of volunteers, it is a large organisation with a wage bill in excess of £30 million. The RBL’s last set of accounts show that 22 staff were paid more than £60,000 p.a., with five of them paid more than £100,000. The behaviour of their North West

78 To advertise call 01244 350398

property division and officers in London has exemplified that of a large organisation acting with disregard to the local community.

The developer who bought the land has not yet submitted a planning application, but has been trying to canvass support for a range of different proposals.

The developer initially proposed building on the bowling green plus a good proportion of the allotments and gifting the community the rest of the allotments. When it was realised that relocating the bowling green would be very expensive, the developer then proposed building on all the allotments and not the bowling green. These proposals include gifting some of the land to the primary school to facilitate their expansion.

The Neighbourhood Plan’s designation of the bowling green and allotments as protected green space means that planning permission will not be granted, unless the community chooses to support it through a Neighbourhood Development Order. However, this does not mean that the bowling green and allotments are safe, because the developer has said in a meeting with stakeholders that if planning permission is not forthcoming he will evict the bowlers and plotholders and let the land lie fallow. In fact, the developer has currently refused to let recently vacated allotment plots to applicants on the waiting list. So, our best hope is that the Charities Commission rule that the sale was illegal.
